Pics of my Sea Dweller "V" series..
Yes they do exist. Not sure how many.
Got this from Switzerland..

milspec · 1 January 2009, 12:42 AM

I posted a thread earlier about one on ebay .... the icing on the cake would be if you take off he bracelet and let us see the V etched into the casing

sub009 · 1 January 2009, 12:54 AM

Actually I just wanted to share some pics..
Not sure if Sea Dweller is available in USA or other parts of the world other than Switzerland..

BTW I have post to sell in several Singapore Web site..

rogerrabbit168 · 1 January 2009, 01:04 AM

they do exist, saw one at the AD in Toronto

Beaumont Miller II · 1 January 2009, 01:08 AM

You're educating me here...was the V series after the M series? And if so, does that make it rare because it is supposedly discontinued?

Thanks.
Was told by my Swiss friend that very "V" series Sea Dwellers were produced and these will be the last productions.

Perhaps some readers can advice..

Psmith · 1 January 2009, 01:33 AM

Congratulations, a beauty

( don't they all come from Switzerland?

)

New serial numbers tend to feed in gradually, so ADs will still have Ms and even Zs in stock.

If what some are hearing is true, V will be the last of the SD and Exp II

Cheers

Congrats!

Ed Rooney · 1 January 2009, 02:23 AM

I really don't think a V gets you anything over a Z or whatever. No lug holes is probably the differentiator, since that was only a 5-year run.

sub009 · 1 January 2009, 02:35 AM

So it is right to say that SD "V" series is the only SD with no Lug holes produced..

No, late Y (2003) to V (2008-2009) has no lug holes.

The year 2002 end of Y series early 2003, non lugs holes started to make there appearance on most Rolex models.Less time to drill the case lugs right though equals more watch case production.

Z-Sub · 1 January 2009, 04:59 AM

Nice one. I love my SD.

karmatp · 1 January 2009, 06:03 AM

You do realise that you are killing a few forum members here who thought they were buying the last serial numbered SD'ers when they bought their M's. It personally makes no difference to me and I'm sure 50 years down the road it wont matter if you are selling a Z, M or V serial, they are the same watch.

swisscottg · 1 January 2009, 08:30 AM

Saw a SS SD in my bay area AD yesterday

Letsgodiving · 1 January 2009, 08:34 AM

Very nice. Fyi - you can read the serial #'s you taped over.

LV SUB · 9 May 2009, 06:28 PM

Hi Rolex Fans:

I have Just bought a V series Sea Dweller for my Son's 21st birthday gift. he is not 21 untill 10th of september so I have asked AD to keep the watch in his safe and register the watch on my Son's birthday this he has agreed to do. So not only will this watch be one of the last batch being a "V" but it has the chance of being the last registered "V" on the planet. According to the research I have done there are only 200 "V" serial Seadwellers but this is a guess and only Rolex will know the true number. The AD I use says the watch is still listed so in theory you can still order the watch but again only Rolex really know? but there is a small buzz regarding these V serials and I have seen them for sale at £5000.00 !

PhilK · 30 May 2009, 06:58 PM

Bought a V Sea Dweller from a London AD two days ago at RRP - No discount available.

Imtiaz · 30 May 2009, 07:58 PM

V Subs are moving off the shelves in Japan.

very few now available. Prices are still the same.

staplejj33 · 28 October 2009, 02:43 PM

it seems like there was a panick earlier this year for these V series SD's, but there a few ADs around LA strill trying to move them off the shelves. did some new news come out? what happened? i was at a GTG less than a week ago and we were all passing around a V series SD like it was any other serial. of course, since i was the only NON-rolexed member there, the heat was on...

sandytn · 29 October 2009, 12:50 AM

Even if Z, M and V serials are the same watches, I would get a little kick for V series SD since it is the last production batch before the phase out! Congrats.
